Round-UpA Couple Of Watches For Him And Her

As the festive season draws to a close, the chime of wedding bells fills the air, as men and women embark upon new journeys together. It’s not unusual for couples to coordinate their outfits for the various occasions, or even just their colour schemes. Of all the traditional and formal ensembles that brides and grooms buy for their weddings and their new lives as young couples, men and women have one element in common, which is the wristwatch. Matching watches might seem like a stretch to many, but let’s admit it, it is quite endearing for a couple to wear coordinated timepieces. Whether the choice to complement each other by donning the same timepiece is a one-day affair, reserved to special occasions, or a lifelong commitment, the level of mush will obviously vary with every couple. Couples may select their watches together, or the timepieces could be a gift to them. Why should you spend on jewellery, which will be only for her! Instead, invest in a good pair of watches for him and for her. You could go with classic designs and infusions of gold, or you could be practical and think beyond just the honeymoon period. The choice is yours.

Timeless Romance

Choose classic and you can’t go wrong. A round, metallic case with a black leather strap, or a simple steel bracelet…It’s the archetype of a watch that will never go out of style.

Baume & Mercier My Classima

Exuding sheer sophistication and elegance, these My Classima timepieces are just the kind of watches that one should definitely have. And even if a couple wear them at the same time, the classic look will justify the watch-coordinated wrists. Steel cases in 40mm and 31mm respectively are complemented by the steel bracelet straps. The only differences in the appearance are the minute markers and the Roman hour marker at three o’clock, seen only in the gentleman’s watch. The biggest highlight of these quartz-powered watches is the option to personalise them with inscriptions on the clean casebacks. You could choose to have the initials or the wedding date engraved, or maybe even the title of the couple’s theme song!

Frederique Constant Classics Index

From the Classics collection of Frederique Constant watches, these timepieces are simple, yet powered by extremely reliable automatic movements. The case of the gentlemen’s watch is in 40mm, while the lady’s version, featuring a mother of pearl dial, comes in a more petite 27.5mm, both in steel. The watches feature date windows at their three o’clock positions. The small-link steel bracelets complement each other, making this a handsome pair.

Gold For Two

When it comes to weddings and trousseaux, many prefer gold, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Opting for steel-and-gold designs will make the watches even suitable for daily wear, or with western formals, long after the wedding festivities are over.

Rado Centrix

A favourite of many, the minimal look of Rado will be an apt option as a gift to newlyweds. That being said, this pair of Rado watches does not feature Rado’s staple material, ceramic. They are built with steel and rose gold PVD, straps and cases. In this pair the lady’s version is simply a smaller version of the gentleman’s watch, at 28 and 38mm respectively. Featured on the silver dials of these watches are date windows at three o’clock. The sharp look of the timepieces are enhanced by the sculpted hour, minute, and seconds hands.

Carl F. Bucherer Adamavi

This precious pairing is in steel and solid rose gold – in both, the cases and the bracelets. In this couple, the lady’s watch is literally just a smaller version of the gentleman’s, in look and build, including the proportionate links of the bracelet, bezel thickness, hour markers and date indication. The only major difference is inside the watch. While the men’s watch, at 39mm, houses an automatic movement, the women’s version, at 28mm, is powered by a quartz movement. Water resistant to 30m, both these timepieces will hold up well even at a rainy honeymoon destination.

Icons In Pairs

If you’re investing in luxury timekeeping instruments, it’s never a bad idea to go for the most iconic designs that have defined the look of modern horology over the last few decades. Take your pick from these instantly distinguishable pieces.

Omega Constellation

Simple, yet extremely distinctive, the Constellation collection is a strong design flagship for Omega, and you can’t go wrong with any watch from this line. However, we recommend that you go for a neutral option such as an all-steel version. The gentleman’s version here is in 35mm, while the lady’s comes in a 27mm case. Both these timepieces run on quartz movements and are water resistant to 100m.

Cartier Ballon Bleu De Cartier

You can recognise a Ballon Bleu from a distance, without even getting a glimpse of the details on the dial. All you really need to see is the blue spinel cabochon stone that decorates the fluted crown within the crown protector. The gentleman’s version comes in a 42mm case, while the lady’s watch is at a more delicate 28.6mm size.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso

Aside from the Cartier Tank collection, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso watches are probably the most distinguishable rectangular timepiece available. This is also because of the signature reversible case, which can be flipped along the side opposite to the crown. The versions seen here are from the Reverso Classic series, with the gentleman’s watch measuring 41.1 by 24.4mm, and the lady’s timepiece, at 45.6 by 27.4mm.

For The Offbeat Twosome

If you’d rather move over the classic and the festive, and opt for something a little more slick and stylish, and maybe even edgy, you ought to go for something in black. After all, it is among the very few colours that are always in vogue

TAG Heuer Aquaracer

You cannot think of sporty watches without TAG Heuer being one of the top five manufacturers that come to mind. This pair of sporty timepieces is for the adventurous twosome, who would rather invest in watches that they can wear every day, and even wear on hikes, treks, and other outdoorsy getaways for two. In fact, with their water resistance at 300m, these robust watches can even be worn on dives. Built of steel, and including ceramic links on the bracelets, both these watches measure 35mm in diameter – meant for equals who complement each other, but not without being able to do their own heavy-lifting.

Movado Edge

Stylish, contoured, yet extremely minimal, these watches are ideal for a casual evening out – a kind of look that newlyweds definitely need. Putting the ‘Edge’ in ‘edgy’, the Movado Edge range is the biggest rage from the Museum Dot trademark owners. Even elements in PVD gold are extremely modern and sleek. At 40 and 28mm, respectively, the gentleman’s and lady’s watches come with bracelets in steel and black PVD.
